Functions for performing experimental comparisons of algorithms using adequate sample sizes for power and accuracy.

Implementation of R package CAISEr, with routines for automatically determining the sample size needed for performing comparative experiments with algorithms.
To install the most up-to-date version directly from Github, simply type:
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("fcampelo/CAISEr")
The most recent CRAN release of the package is also available for installation directly from the R prompt, using:
install.packages("CAISEr")
For instructions and examples of use, please take a look at the vignette
Adapting Algorithms for CAISEr, and at the package documentation, particularly
functions run_experiment() and run_nreps2().
Please send any bug reports, questions, suggestions, chocolate (to Fernanda) or beers (to Felipe - we can always hope!) directly to the package authors listed at the top of this document.
Cheers,
Felipe
